When I use the new Require way, I get the message: "JavaScript ReferenceError: exports is not defined", when I save the project with the "exports".

Even if I get this error message, it works.

Any clue, why do I get this message, please (Max 7.3.3)? Thanks

Hi,

I don't think you need the export module. You can either include the whole js file with 

or import individual functions from a js file like this

var somefunc = require("jsfile/somefunc");

of course the js files need to be in the search path. I put mine in:

Applications/Max/Contents/Resources/C74/extensions/jitter

I am no expert though so maybe someone else can chime in? (I had a related questions before but no answer...)

I was following this article. This is, how I came to "export". I know about the "include" option, but then you "share" all variables, what is a bit risky. Thank you for the option to include one variable only, I will try this.

Here's the fix that worked for me.  When I got that error message, I had just converted a Javascript file from one that was hosted by a js object to one that exposed its functionality via exports/require.  The error message was shown because I had not yet removed all the js objects that hosted the Javascript file from my project.  When I removed those  js objects, the error messages (on for each of the  js objects ) were no longer shown.

So the rule,  in Max at least, must  be that a Javascript file containing exports must only be referenced by require, otherwise  exports will not be understood and the error message will be shown. 

If the cause of the error message was similar for Martin, that might explain why he found that the exports still worked, even though the error message was shown.  The Javascript file would have worked where used in its correct context as a require file, but not where it was hosted by a  js object (or in any other context).

I love Ableton's "full screen" feature but as soon as I open a max window from a M4L device - it could be a "storagewindow" to pattrstorage, or a "; max maxwindow" to open the console - it goes full screen and fills a new macOS "space". 

Is there any way to prevent this behavior?

I haven’t figured it out but it seems like it’s more like macOS issue than Max

I'd also love to know if anyone found a fix to this.

fix-forum-when

hey, what do you mean exactly by 'its broken' ? it seems mostly fine to me :O

Try searching in the forum something composed of 2 or more words. You will mostly find results related to one of the words without the other. So totally irrelevant. 

My recent search was crop jit.gl.pix. On top of the list I had one result that did not have jit.gl.pix in any of the comments. Of course I looked for crop jit.gl.pix cycling74 on google and found lots of posts inside of the forum. 

But a functioning forum would let you properly search inside it, not having to go to goole.com to search for something. :/ At least they should just integrate the google search engine inside of the forum. 

ok. I see that now and confirm there's a problem :))

..it seems too that the "~" is not seen by the search.
I was looking for informations today in the forum about the [max~] object.
impossible to have a good result. I tried searching for : "max~",  [max~]  ,  "[max~]"  ...Same results

Hi all! I'm sharing this object that I use to easily switch engines when working between different gl2/gl3 projects. You simply add the object [gl.check] to your patcher and add the argument gl2 or gl3 (default is gl3) so it will check what engine is used when starting the patcher. If the engine does not match the engine of the argument it will prompt you with the question if you want to switch. When clicking OK you get the prompt to restart Max (as you normally would when switching the engines through the preferences). You can also transform it to a [bpatcher] to use a umenu to manually switch from within your patch.

I'm building a simple randomized midi sequencer in Max for Live that uses the random object to fill cells on a matrix ctrl object which then acts as a sequencer. My hope is to be able to have multiple instances of this sequencer running simultaneously and independently in the same session. Currently, separate instances of the plugin will influence each other in a variety of ways- for example, if I generate a sequence in one instance the same sequence will appear on the other instance of the plugin. I did some research and found that adding "--" to the beginning of my sends and receives mitigated some of the issues, but not all of them. I found that by saving new versions of the plugin and changing the names of the sends and receives between them solves the problem, but this is obviously labor intensive and not ideal solution as I would prefer to be able to just add new instances and have it work. Any tips to keep the sends and receives from influencing eachother, beyond just adding two dashes?

Three dashes, not two, will do what you want.

You can open your .maxpat file in a text editor with a "search" and "replace all" functionality and replace "--" with "---".   Be a little careful if you do it that way, though...

I’d like to write an object that loads and unloads subpatches which run audio. Is there any information on doing this?

examples-of-poly~-style-startingstopping-dsp-in-subpatches

I have this example on how you can use poly~ to dynamically chain multiple dsp effects: https://github.com/tmhglnd/poly-recursion

Ah!  Im looking for a way to do what poly~ does in C 

but this is super cool.  I sort of didn’t know you could do this.  


turning poly´s on and off is a nobrainer and i would go so far saying that it is its main feature.

but what really sucks is that you sometimes have to build a poly patcher from an already existing patcher, that you sometimes have to change the order or number of ins and outs, then maybe later you decide that you are not going to use the poly version and all the effort seems to be in vain.

an external which recreates the features of [patcher] but accepts a "disable" message would be a good addition to max. ^^ 

though i think it would already work like that if it was so easily possible.

Roman that's exactly what I want to do from C is mute and unmute dsp in a patcher loaded internally.  

You can also use (enable $1) > [pcontrol] > [abstraction] or connect [mute~] object. Include the [pass~] object within the abstraction to make sure when enable that you don't get unexpected noise from the outlet.


Concerning writing a existing patcher into a poly~ patcher, I would just write a wrapper for that patcher, connection [in]'s and [out~]'s to the abstraction within.

enable $1 flips audio on and off?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?

It's not in the help file or the reference.


putting pass~ objects into a bunch of  your abstractions or patches is a solution not better than creating a poly~ version... however sometimes it might still be more appropiate. 

and "enable" to [pcontrol] only disables midi properly.

strange enough: in older versions of max the mute~ helpfile were showing how to do it with "mute" to [pcontrol] - the pcontrol helpfile does not.

and while works with the tapin/tapout example in a [p ] in this mute~ helpfile, it does not work with my abstractions.

if you only think about very big patches or patching with bpatchers: both pcontrol and mute~ must be connected directly. do you really want to have one extra object in the canvas for turning subcircuits on and off? ... for my part i prefer the patches to receive 0 and 1 in the righmost inlet like my poly´s do. ;)

and dont forget that you often need to do more than turning DSP off - for example you might want to send out 0 at all signal outlets before you cut the connections off...

conclusion: mute~ and pcontrol both offer solutions for special cases, but it is not what you originally had in mind and wont make your idea unjustified.

and "enable" to [pcontrol] only disables midi properly. 

what does this mean?  I just tried it and my audio flipped on/off with no gap.  Is this unsupported behavior? 

my plan right now is to load my subpatchers inside a generic patch with a pcontrol attached to turn them on/off


yes in [p] it works, but not in [mypatch]

and it seems that it only disables the MSP objects. if you make a [patcher] containing "inlet-connection-outlet" you can not mute that thing (unlike in a poly)

other than the mute~ helpfile suggest with its tapping buffer example, using pcontrol still requires a pass~ object per outlet. that is, for lower levels, when you do "enable 0 1", too(!)

not sure where this makes a difference, but i see dark clouds rising.


I experimented alot on this, In the end I put all the audio code in gen~ and the main code block is in a conditional which just doesn't do anything if the sound output level is zero. I found it much more efficient than turning things on and off at the object level.  It does mean putting everything in codebox so its not for everybody. If there were string processing in gen I wouldn't use objects much at all. 

Examples of poly~ style starting/stopping dsp in subpatches?

Hi there - looking for any help / advice.

There's a Max audio effect device called 'Max CutKiller' included with the 'M4L Building Tools' Ableton Live pack.

It's great, but for some reason when I turn the device off then on, the 'Interval' parameter changes, which is a pain.

I would use the 'Dry / Wet' mix instead, but there's something about the way this device processes the signal which really degrades the sound so I like to keep it deactivated when not in use.

My current workaround is just to run an entirely separate track and crossfade, but it's not a really elegant solution.

Any suggestions welcome. I've attached the preset that gives me trouble.

I am zero to node js but I just wonder if anyone can help me to make this happen by two approaches? I am trying to get the stream datas from a site called Blitzortung for a research of data sonification of lightning location. I have found this code on github made and has successfully running it in my terminal. But how do I get the stream data directly to my max patch?

1. I am thinking of the dirtiest way to route the datas from the terminal to max via the object shell, however the shell object in max isn't really working for me: I tried to go to the root with /cd and put "npm run example" and it didn't get me there to the root, nor the npm script was taken.

2. Or is it possible that someone can translate this example.js file in this github account into script with maxAPI function? I think it's not a easy task but still am trying to give it a shot here.

I suppose if you don't have to run the program every time, and you just want to save the data you got, you could just save all this into a JSON file, then have Max open up the JSON file in either the js object or node.script. If it reads it as a string; no problem, just JSON.parse that string.

We are excited to announce the availability of our 

 as a public beta. We’ve worked closely with 

. The Eventide H9000 is a rack-sized multi-effects unit with powerful DSP processing capabilities and numerous high quality built-in effects. We’re excited to enable RNBO export for this and open the door to unique custom studio effects and instruments without the strict limitations of other hardware platforms.

RNBO support is similar to the existing Gen support, but more streamlined, and uses the built-in 

, rather than a watcher patcher, to manage the export process. Eventually, all of these changes will be rolled into the standard release versions of RNBO and this package.
